Mayfair

Purdey Awards

Shooting's great and good gathered at Purdey's Mayfair store for
the annual Purdey Awards for Game and Conservation. Of course, you
can't host a game event without feeding everyone endless amounts of
wild-boar sausages, gamekeeper's tartlets and wood pigeon. In
between munching, Sir Barney White-Spunner (the executive chairman
of the Countryside Alliance) bounced up on stage to talk about his
latest campaign to 'encourage Indian restaurants across the capital
to use game on their menus'. Apparently 'take-up is on the rise'.
Surely pheasant balti or venison vindaloo is worth a shot?
